In the past I showed how a single random image can be pulled from images uploaded to a Soliloquy slider and set as body background using Backstretch here.

- Create a "Background Images" Soliloquy slider and upload/select the desired background images.
- In a function hooked to
soliloquy_outputfilter, loop through all the images in the above slider one by one, store their URLs in an array and return the array. - Enqueue Backstretch and initialize it using the above array variable (having the slide images' URLs) sent from PHP to the .js file using
wp_localize_script.
